Japanese investment firm Metaplanet is stepping up its Bitcoin accumulation strategy. The company's board of directors has approved a comprehensive plan that aims to increase its total Bitcoin holdings to 210,000 BTC by the end of 2027. This goal could make Metaplanet one of the world's largest institutional investors in Bitcoin.

According to the decision, Metaplanet will increase the number of Class A and Class B shares available for issuance to fund new Bitcoin purchases. The company also plans to introduce a floating interest rate structure and quarterly dividend payment mechanism for these stocks.
Investors therefore have the opportunity to receive regular income four times a year by receiving quarterly dividends. This structure aims to turn shares into a vehicle that provides returns such as interest.
The Board of Directors also approved the issuance of Class B shares to international institutional investors. This action is expected to increase Metaplanet's access to international capital and support Bitcoin purchasing strategies by a broader investor base.
The company's aggressive Bitcoin targets make clear that it views the cryptocurrency as a long-term strategic reserve asset. Metaplanet's management believes that the limited supply of Bitcoin and increased global adoption will increase the company's value in the long run.
Market analysts note that an acquisition plan of this size could have a significant impact on both the company's stock and the Bitcoin market. Metaplanet's future efforts are seen as a key indicator that could shape institutional investors' approach to cryptocurrencies.
